i was under the impression that just placing a .jpg in the folder with the music files was enough, it worked for me anyways. Make sure you go to media files sync and path to the folder and click update and the image should appear.-Krys

I now tried renaming to cover.jpg, but nothing happens. Also not "Resynchronize" or "Update". If I use " Edit attributes for all files in directory" to add the cover and then use update then the cover is added to the .mp3 file. I was hoping on some easier way like- put cover.jpg in folder and LinuxMCE does the rest meaning finds the cover adds it to all .mp3 in the database and then adds it to the .mp3 files.

viking - separately from the option to Edit attributes for all files in directory, you can actually edit the attributes of the directory itself, as if it were a file as well. Instead of clicking on the directory in the left hand pane to display its contents then clicking on the file in the right hand pane to edit its attributes .... you can navigate up the directory structure, and when you see the directory itself listed in the _right hand pane_ click on it there instead of clicking on it in the left hand pane. Now you will see the attributes of the directory in the right hand pane instead of the directory's contents. You can now set cover art for the directory.
